Failed morning show host and blackface apologist Megyn Kelly has been spending a lot of time ranting and raving on Twitter lately. When she’s not grieving over the end of white supremacy, she’s sticking up for her former archenemy Donald Trump.
Social media was abuzz over the weekend after a 25-second clip of Trump awkwardly sipping a glass of water and descending a ramp after giving a speech at the West Point Commencement went viral.
Many questioned Trump’s health and whether something might actually be wrong with him. Eventually, the chatter got to be so loud that he issued a statement, er, tweet, in which he insisted he’s in tremendous shape.
“The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” he tweeted. “The last thing I was going to do is ‘fall’ for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
However, weather reports and, um, the video everyone saw, contracted these claims. Not only was it dry and sunny, but Trump didn’t “[run] down to level ground.” Also, he offered no explanation for why he requires two hands to drink from a glass of water.

Soon #RampGate and #TrumpIsNotWell were trending on Twitter. Eventually, Kelly, who was canned from NBC in 2018 after she defended wearing blackface, weighed in on the matter, tweeting: “Bizarre? I saw a 74-year-old man trying not to fall down a sloped ramp w/no handrails. What was bizarre about it?”
Bizarre? I saw a 74-year-old man trying not to fall down a sloped ramp w/no handrails.
What was bizarre about it? https://t.co/9D80fkQJIa— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) June 14, 2020
Why she’s suddenly defending the guy who once said she had “blood coming out of her wherever” and who she blames for her abrupt departure from Fox News (“Donald Trump has a way of clarifying one’s life choices,” were her exact words) is a mystery, but Kelly’s never exactly been known for her critical thinking skills.
And now, the responses…
Could you imagine the breathless coverage on Fox if this had been Hillary? Oh wait, you don’t have to imagine

And you’re supposed to be a “journalist” – that is really bizarre.

How about the two handed sippy cup thing Megs

Where are his medical records Megyn? Where are his tax returns? Where is the law and order? You are the problem and the fool, not the other way around.

Because he demeans others every chance he gets while pretending to be a tough guy. Oh and because he retweeted this – pic.twitter.com/QBNrzBxOjL

His defensive tweet was bizarre. His physicals which declare him to be amazingly healthy are bizarre. His odd way of drinking water was bizarre. You are either not paying attention, or are bitterly indulging in ignorance

Oh, are you his BFF now?

I guess the bizarre part is what comes out of his mouth criticizing every aspect of anyone that can’t do things normally. Remember the handicapped person he made fun of in front of thousands at his rally.

That’s why building codes and the ADA *require* handrails.

It’s bizarre that he said he ran the final 10 feet.

Last November, Trump made a sudden visit to the Walter Reed National Medical Center that his advisers have never fully explained, followed by another visit in April. Since then, he has refused to release any detailed medical records, other than a vague doctor’s note earlier this month that said he’s “healthy.”

I have been working from home for 4 years now and I love it. I don’t have a boss standing over my shoulder and I make my own hours. The tips below are very informative and anyone currently working from home or planning to in the future could use this website….?6.gp/a756o

You can always tell when right wing media folks know they are lying because they overdo the faux anger.
i.e. Sean Hannity was practically foaming at the mouth when he was screaming about how smart Melania was an that she spoke 5 languages.
He knew he was lying and was hoping his fake riotous anger would deflect that.
Same here, Kelly knows that the health of a president is a legitimate concern to the country, that’s why she and her other ilk keep trying to feign outrage that a legit question is being asked.

Once again Kelly is trying to ingratiate herself with right-wingers. She blew her attempt to go mainstream because of her own incompetence and racism, so now, after having helped bring down that misogynistic creature Roger Ailes she wants to fully hop back on the wingbat gravy train again. Defending a clown like Don the Con might help her, but we all have seen how he rambles, is often confused by basic facts, can’t lift a glass to his lips with one hand, and very carefully labored to get down that gently sloped ramp. Maybe she should spend time investigating what we don’t know about his real health challenges rather than being such a lacky.

Is there an editor in the house?
>>the video everyone saw, contracted these claims.
The video contradicted the claims, it did not compress them.

why are we still talking about this person?

I get that Charlize Theron did a sterling impersonation of Megyn Kelly. The problem was that it dignified Kelly, giving no hints that she’s a complete c***

Bullseye!

Unless you’re a racist nazi, i can’t imagine why anyone would care what Megyn Kelley. That homophobic bigoted racist is completely irrelevant.
radiooutmike
Yes, just like that claptrap she (they, Fox News) was peddling about Clinton in 2016.
She coughed! She has pneumonia! She’s unfit! Remember when they tried to say she was wearing some kind of nefarious medical device?
